Highlights the DVD release of this movie.
"It's easy to pick out the single major flaw of Chaplin. The narrative is too ambitious." By James Berardinelli.
"It's a monumental biopic that cheapens the hero's successes by glossing over the failures that surely also shaped the man." By Rita Kempley. [Washington Post]
"Based on Chaplin's factually airbrushed 'My Autobiography' and David Robinson's 'Chaplin: His Life and Art,' the movie gives you a little bit of everything and, therefore, nothing." By Desson Howe. [Washington Post]
"Robert Downey Jr. gives a superb performance that has "Oscar" written all over it as Charlie Chaplin...Unfortunately, the film itself is less successful." By Chris Hicks. [Deseret News]
Cast overview, synopsis, trailer, and user comments.
"Before Batman, before Mickey Mouse, there was the Little Tramp, an everyman whose lack of name and address allowed him to go anywhere and do anything, as long as it was funny, or brought a tear." By Roger Ebert.
"Historically, it's a joke, crushing chronology, distorting characters, trivializing film history, but all that could be forgiven if it only had a brain, or a mind, or a heart." By Louis Black. [Austin Chronicle]
